   i'm trying to learn JSON-LD. is the @context link just kind of a type definition ?

     @amd64sucks it's a concept of its own, are you reading the specs themselves? they're fairly clear

     @amd64sucks@wetdry.world @helene@p.helene.moe basically, every entry in @context allows you to transform a matching (by a set of rules) key into another key, and/or a matching (by a different set of rules) "basic" value into an object

     @amd64sucks hmmm basically, @context is like defining aliases and used namespaces

     for example the field “as:actor” if you have "as": "https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams#" will be expanded to “https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams#actor”

     stuff like that

     @helene is it important what's behind the URL ? as it always goes to an HTML document

     @amd64sucks@wetdry.world @helene@p.helene.moe it doesn't - try doing the query with an Accept header that targets application/json or application/activity+json

     @tost @amd64sucks yeah, i’d recommend doing

     xh -Fb "https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams" 'Content-Type:application/json; charset=utf-8' 'Accept:application/ld+json; profile="https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams"';

     (works with curl too of course, etc)

     but it doesn’t have to be the case, it’s just a neat trick consider URIs as “obscure immutable things”, pretty much. forget any previous notion you have of them, and only treat them for what they are, don’t try to parse them or to modify them, they’re more like atoms
